Casting Types & Materials

Choosing the right process and material is the first step to a cost-effective, reliable part.

Home / Casting Types & Materials

Processes

Sand casting (versatile, large/low-volume), investment casting (precision, complex), die casting (high-volume non-ferrous), centrifugal (cylindrical/pipe), and lost foam.

Ferrous

Grey iron (A48/GG), ductile iron (A536/GGG), carbon and alloy steel, and stainless steel for corrosion or heat resistance.

Non-Ferrous

Aluminum (A356, ADC12), brass/bronze, and zinc — for weight, conductivity, or corrosion needs.

How We Help You Choose

We compare process, material, tolerance, and volume to recommend the lowest total-cost route that meets function.
